Numerical models of supershell dynamics

  • 1. Joint Institute for Lab. Astrophysics, Univ. of Colorado, Boulder, CO (USA)

Description

Superbubbles play an important role in determining the state of the ISM in both spiral and irregular galaxies. The authors are modeling supershell dynamics in both homogeneous and stratified atmospheres using ZEUS, a 2-D hydrocode. They find that when a superbubble blows out of a Gaussian atmosphere, the cold, dense shell is not greatly accelerated.In addition, the authors believe that they observe the Vishniac overstability in radiative, decelerating shells
